Free Vintage Maps Of Paris

Paris as a city is associated with romance and love. As it’s nearing Valentine’s day I thought I would put together a collection of old maps of Paris.

Paris is one of my favourite European cities and I think it’s amazing how it only takes just over 2 hours to get to the heart of Paris from the heart of London by train. I fancy one day travelling to Paris by train for lunch, just for the fun of it. I should imagine that a day trip to Paris is a popular thing to do on Valentine’s day!

These beautiful maps can be used in so many ways. They would look fabulous decoupaged onto furniture like with these personalised map chairs. If you would prefer your maps hung on the wall, there are some fabulous ideas for DIY frames here.

The PDF downloaded old maps of Paris will be of a higher resolution then the images below.

The Old Maps Of Paris

This is a gorgeous “vud’oiseau” (birds eye view) of Paris from 1615. I love that the buildings are 3d and you can identify them easily on the map. The colours are gorgeous too. However, because it’s so old some of the major Parisian landmarks are missing like the Eiffel Tower as it was yet to be built.

Even though this is a map of Paris during the French Revolution (1790-1795) it doesn’t look like it. That is because the map was actually printed in 1912 which explains why some of the fonts don’t match the era.

This vintage map of Paris not only shows all the streets but the border of the map is illustrated with all the major Paris landmarks. These illustrations include building such as the Hotel De Ville, the Arc De Triomphe, Pont Neuf, and the Louvre.

Another map of Parisian monuments from 1926. The map focuses on the old walled city of Paris and the immediate area. Monumental buildings are shown in profile, including the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Sacre-Coeur, the Pantheon, and others. This tourist map also shows both the Parisian train and Metro lines.
